Not to sidetrack on this thread, so it'll be the last time I comment on it, but I don't think the Hunger Games and Battle Royale are as similar as people seem to think they are. I think it was a new concept to a lot of people, especially young people, and so all they see is a simple, boiled down version of both stories and assume one must have ripped off another. In reality, it's not a new concept; it's just one that hasn't been beaten into the ground yet.
I changed it to Battle Royale just because it's a more intense, gory movie that is closer to horror, in my opinion.
